I can’t help but think too many people are taking the social media revolution overboard.

Of course, everyone has the option of sharing information with certain people, but that doesn’t always mean we should.

All too often, I see Facebook updates saying “Just did some laundry. Going to Wal-Mart…” Uh, cool story bro, but the fact of the matter is that most people aren’t really that interested in a play-by-play of your day.

That’s what Twitter is for, and luckily it all dissolves into my feed so quickly I don’t have to be bored by it there either.

Recently, someone in my family thought it appropriate to blast the antics (okay, admittedly, FOOLISH antics) of their teenage son via Facebook status. We all went through those few years in which the ability to use common sense temporarily wanes (which most people commonly refer to as “being a teenager,”) so why was it necessary to put his business out there like that?

I can’t help but shake my head and wonder what the world is coming to when it’s a form of punishment to embarrass a child via social media.

My number one pet peeve is the feuding Facebook couple. Almost everyone can think of someone they have as a friend on Facebook whose relationship status fluctuates between “in a relationship” and “single” at least once a month with the same person.

Every couple fights; it’s normal. But typically, those heated arguments blow over, and both parties realize it’s nothing to end a relationship over. There’s no point in going back and forth between relationship statuses in the heat of anger.

What’s worse, in my opinion, is those who feel the need to turn those arguments into a status: “John is such a jerk. I hate him! He just said all of my friends are annoying!*~!~*” Um, okay, because that’s really helping the situation.

To be frank, if someone is immature enough to drag their arguments on to social media, they probably aren’t mature enough to be in a relationship.

To you people who update your relationship as often as you click the “Like” button, Maybe you should do all of cyberspace a favor and stay single for a while

Perhaps the ultimate proof that social media is being taken far too seriously is the fact that I just managed to write an entire editorial based upon things about it that annoy me…and that some readers might be reading along, nodding in agreement.
